On the Borderline
The questions "what's it like to live with borderline personality disorder?" always seems to throw me. I've been asked it so many times in the past two years since getting the diagnosis that you'd think I'd have the perfect answer for it. The problem I find most common is that people always expect a quick answer, as though you can explain it all in a matter of sentences, with perfect clarity. My automatic response is, "It means I'm a little mood and irrational sometimes," which is so vague that it hardly even constitutes as a real answer.
